nice the cord one is actually a very good idea !!!
I always wrap the cords around the tools somehome and have found the cors starting to rip at the tool end

Also when building shop stuff or just a great place for free wood in general is new home construction sites ...
just walk up to the pile of scraps and scraps and motion to the mexicans that u would like that would and they will 90% of the time give it to you !!!
